...circuit is temporary, at the most alternative, for Canada. The Dominion is now working out a line from Montreal to Winnipeg by way of Sudbury, Sault Ste. Marie, and Allanwater.

Another stupendous Canadian air stretch, and one which counts more to the Dominion, is the 1,800 miles from Calgary to Herschel Island. The East-West route parallels the Great Canadian Pacific and Canadian National Railway systems. Into the far North goes no railroad except the new line from The Pas to Churchill on Hudson Bay.

More than 5.000 members now belong to the clubs. Last year 231 earned private pilot's licenses, 73 commercial licenses. Largest club is Calgary's with more than 1,000. Saskatoon has more...
Manufacturers. Except for the training machines of the Light Aeroplane Clubs. Canada gets most of her planes from U. S. manufacturers. Several of these have created Canadian subsidiaries, shipping their parts for assembly and sale in the Dominion. Chief among Canada's aircraft makers...
